I created a custom view extending EditText and specified an attribute style to change the background tint color.
public class CustomEditText extends EditText {
public CustomEditText (Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public CustomEditText (Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, R.attr.customEditTextStyle);
}
public CustomEditText (Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, R.attr.customEditTextStyle);
}
// Some other code...
}
Then I added an attribute style:
<resources>
<attr name="customEditTextStyle" format="reference" />
<resources>
I am using Theme.AppCompat in my app. I am already overriding colorPrimary, colorPrimaryDark and colorAccent.
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/blue</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/blue_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/blue_accent</item>
<item name="customEditTextStyle">@style/CustomEditText</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomEditText" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/blue</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/blue_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/blue_accent</item>
</style>
The editText background colors are working fine, however, I can't do the same with the custom editText.
I have tried using this code but it changes the overall state, such that all states uses the same color.(https://stackoverflow.com/a/28433337)
editText.getBackground().setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.your_color), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
Is there a way to apply AppCompat Style in Custom View? Is this AppCompat issue or I did something wrong in my CustomEditText? Any idea would be much appreciated. Thanks!
